Eric recently bought a mint Marlin 39A lever action .22lr off my son’s father-in-law. I previously made a slimline suppressor for this rifle, but it was not sold with the rifle. Evan has asked that I make him another custom Slimline suppressor to fit.

Evan also has a Marlin Papoose (one of my favorite survival rifles) and has asked that I make a custom over-barrel suppressor. Eric’s Papoose is a very special kit, with steel barrel and receiver, but with an unusual classic wood stock and for-stock. Photos will be online soon.

Update: Eric and his son Evan visited me at my workshop, and brought some amazing rifles with him – mostly under-leaver – all of them in pristine condition and magnificent rifles.

Along with the Papoose (over-barrel) and Lever-Action .22lr (Slimline suppressor with male thread 1/2″ unf x 20 tpi) we have decided to also suppress his Rem 597 chambered in .22mag with an over-barrel suppressor.

Left. I removed the existing suppressor on Eric’s .22Mag, having been glued tight on the thread.

While this suppressor might look good, it is a terrible design, as there are only 4 suppression chambers. A magnum suppressor requires at least 12 chambers to work at optimum efficiency.
